[Parenteral alimentation in the early postoperative period].
Parenteral diet is a rather important problem for all of medical science, but especially for intensive care units. During the last few decades, a significant advancement has been made in this field, and there are indications that parenteral diet will be still more adequate, quantitatively and qualitatively, in the future. According to many published papers, patients can now be maintained exclusively on a parenteral diet, as our ward has done in the treatment of a variety of illnesses and diseases. This paper describes all the ingredients necessary for a parenteral diet. Briefly described are the effects on the organism, caloric values, and the ways in which the cells and organs utilize the food (as energy sources). All the preparations that we have used as well as those used by other institutions both foreign and domestic are listed. A full list of the ingredients of the preparations would consume too much space: however, there is a wealth of available literature and brochures for the reader who would like more detailed information. Based on the experience of a great many authors and that of our own institution, guidelines to be followed daily are provided. For such a program to be effectively applied, each member of the team should constantly monitor the parenteral diet, and there should be a frequent exchange of information and experiences. By so doing, still more could be contributed to overcoming this important problem.
